Norway to remain outside the EU

Public opinion has changed little since Norwegians voted no to EU membership (nei til EU) in a referendum in 1994.
Norway is not about to join the European Union despite Europe being high on the agenda. This became clear as Norwegian Foreign Minister Jan Petersen met with the British foreign secretary Jack Straw on Monday.

Mr Petersen could not promise that Norway would be in a position to re-apply for membership any time soon, reports the BBC.

However much Mr Peterson would like to achieve his dream of Norwegian membership of the EU, he appreciates that public opinion has changed little since voters rejected Norwegian membership in a referendum in 1994.

"The fact is that there will be no majority for Norwegian membership of the Union today, and probably not in the foreseeable future," said Mr Petersen according to the BBC.

However, Mr Petersen did add: "What we want to do is to stay as closely as possible to the European process, and hopefully make a contribution".

But analysts say that the European Economic Area (EEA) agreement, which ties Norway to the European Union, is becoming less and less relevant, as EU integration starts to move faster on such important issues as defence
and the economy, and with the forthcoming eastward expansion.
